THRASH'lNG AND CLOVER-HULLING MACHINE FRAME.l

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,077, dated January 10, 1862.

' Application filed May 6, 1881. (Model.)

` and exact description of the invention, such pieces, I.

as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in thrashing` and clover-hulling machine frames and means for attaching the cylinder-thereto; and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully explained, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying' drawings, Figure l is a side view. I1`.ig.2 is a plan view with the cover removed, and Fig. 3 is an end view.

A represents the bolster, of the usual form, loosely mounted and held in position on the front axle, B, by the king-bolt D are short beams, and D are long beams, having beveled faces at their lower portions, where they are secured on opposite sides of the bolster A by the bolts E, which pass com-v pletely through the beams and bolster, and secure them in position by means of nuts. These beams pass upward from the bolster in an inclined direction, forming a V shaped frame, and are strengthened in this position by the sills E', which, after passing the whole length of the frame, are secured to the beams D D' by lap-joints, which prevent the said beams oil the same sideofthe frame from separating, while the short beams D on opposite side are secured together by the transverse brace F, and the long beams D by the top brace, F', the rear or long beams, D', being also connected to the frame by the longitudinal beams Gr, all the above parts being secured by bolts and nuts.

The cylinder His shorter than the width of the frame, and is supported in the metallic end These pieces are made of cast metal, and are provided with bearing for the shaft J, and also have flanges on their front and rear tinned outward on one side, and is jonrnaled 6o near its end in the inverted-V-shaped yoke K, securedto the top of beam D, and about midway ot' beam D', the said yoke also .aiding in holding the parts together. To this extension Vof the shalt J, between the yo'ke K and the 65 end piece, I, a driving-pulley, L, is secured,

- around which the driving-belt from the engine passes, while on the extreme outer end of said shafta pulley, m, is secured, around which the belt which drives the separator passes. 7o The object of having the belts en on'e side of the cylinder in them anner described is to overcome friction of the shaft on the bearings.

By constructingthe frame as above described the least possible weight is secured, while at the same time it is strong and durable, and capable of being moved from place to place as desired.

It is evident that slight changes in the coustruetion of the parts and the manner ot' se- 8o curing them together might be resorted to without departing from the spiritof my invention, and hence I' would have it understood that I do not-'limit myself to the exact construction shown, but consider myseltl at liberty to make such changes as come wit-hin the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, What .I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Wardly-inelined beams secured thereto, said In testimony that claim the foregoing I beams being held in pbsition by sills and a have hereunto set my hand this 28th d ay of' transverse brace, of metallic end pieces hav- April, 1881.
